The court was also told how Ball would allegedly hide bottles of alcohol in the piano in one of the music rooms for the two students.

But after the third victim made the allegations about her "best friend" in 2004, they went from "intensely close" to "immediately separate".

She added: "Teachers weren't speaking to me."

She continued: "I just remember feeling vilified, feeling like I had done something wrong. Not by senior members of staff.

"But the members of staff that had been involved with Simon, his friends."

The third victim, who is now aged in her late twenties and cannot be named for legal reasons, also gave evidence to the court on Wednesday behind a screen.

She was asked to read part of her diary aloud which she believes she wrote in 2004 and was aimed at herself and the second victim.

The alleged victim said: "Why did I do it? So stupid. His face when he fucked you, so violent like he wanted to actually hurt you."

She continued: "He is, whether you believe, want to believe or not, a paedophile. His eyes were empty of feeling or love. An abyss of imagination that has blinded you."

Ms Claire Matthews, defending Ball, said the second victim had had a "crush" on Ball and was actually "smitten with him".

Addressing the third victim, she said: "I am going to suggest to you that nothing of a sexual nature took place between either you and him, or either you and (female's name). Presumably you disagree with that?"

The alleged victim said: "I would say that is not true."

The victim went on to say how she told police about further allegations in 2015 after police came to her because she felt more secure than when she was 15.

The court previously heard how Ball, of Greenwich, London, started working at the school from 1999 to 2004 before moving to another school in Cambridgeshire.

Ball previously pleaded guilty to five counts of sexual activity by person in a position of trust in May this year following allegations made by a student at his new school.

The court heard today that it's alleged he had two threesomes with two of the students

The ex-wife of the boarding school teacher said he told her to lie to police that she had got rid of her wedding dress, the court heard.

Hannah Atherton split from her ex-husband Simon Ball over text messages that he sent to pupils, but she said that following the split he told her he was being investigated by police, that the allegations were "malicious" and that officers would ask her about her wedding dress.

"He asked me to say I had disposed of the wedding dress myself," she said. "He gave me the reason that there were stains on the wedding dress and he had therefore had to throw it away, but if I said it he wouldn't get into trouble."

She said he suggested the stains were caused by a damp wall, and she agreed to give the account to police as she did not want to appear to be a "bitter ex-wife".

"I was trying to move on gracefully and he had me under his spell," she said. "I was still willing to stick up for him."

Mrs Atherton had met her former husband at Oxford University and they married in the chapel at the school in North Yorkshire, the court heard.

After they split she stayed in the spare room at their three-storey, mid-terrace house on around six or seven occasions, and on the final visit she said she saw a text on his phone which he usually kept "absolutely glued to him".

She said she read a message on his phone, in the living room, from a contact stored in the phone as Hannah - her name - but signed off with the nickname of a pupil at the school.

It contained "suggestive banter" including "something about the feel of leather seats of a car", she said.

She said she confronted him about why the contact was in his phone as "Hannah".

"He said that was because he had the phone with him when he had been with other teachers and he didn't want them to be suspicious so he wanted them to think that messages were coming from me," she said.

Mrs Atherton said she worked away in Birmingham during the week for some of the time they lived in Yorkshire.

Ball, of Greenwich, admitted five counts of engaging in sexual activity while in a position of trust at the Cambridgeshire school at an earlier hearing, but denies a string of indecency and sexual assault charges relating to his time in Yorkshire.
